Today, Mitch and I will discuss the denouement of the FY2011 budget battle this week and the start of the FY2012 battle. We’ll also talk about the Tea Party Tax Day rally, and see whether Mitch gets back in time to start the show. Will our first bumper be “All By Myself”? Join us and find out!

Be sure to call 651-289-4488 to join the conversation! You can also register for free at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.)

We’ll also cover the the case of Marizela Perez, who has been missing in the Seattle area for over a month. Marizela’s case has a connection here at Hot Air, as she is the cousin of the Boss Emeritus, Michelle Malkin. Michelle is trying to spread the word through Facebook and Q13Fox/KCPQ in Seattle. We want to encourage prayers for Marizela’s family, and also try to reach anyone in the area who knows where Marizela might be and ask them to contact the police.

The search has its own website now, Find Marizela, for the latest in the efforts to bring Marizela home. There is also a fund for the family to keep the search efforts going. Be sure to check there and at Michelle’s site for further developments, and keep the family in your prayers.
